Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Amazing therapist
Wendi listens and provides practical support and solutions
Warm, engaging, and present. Wendi is a blessing to anyone who chooses to 'do the work' through therapy.
It's very understanding and knowledgeable, always willing to dig deep.. but in a respectful and non-prying way, her insight has been instrumental in helping me navigate all my issues and trauma.. if it wasn't for better help, Wendi, as well as my friends and family.. I'd probably be in a really bad place still. Cannot recommend her enough.
I really appreciate Wendi's help navigating some difficult times I've had recently. She has been helpful by providing me with some tools to get my mental health back on track.
I feel Wendi understands me personally and supports me in dealing with my problems. She has helped me gain insight of myself. I look forward each week to talk and stay on track to understand myself better and improve my situation. I really appreciate Better Help for choosing her for me!
I feel safe and comfortable talking with Wendi. She is so kind and supportive!

Really great helps and listen and proves amazing advice
Finding Wendi on BetterHelp was just what I needed at this time of my life. I was searching for inner peace and she helped me to find solution-based techniques and, most importantly, gratitude. Life is hard and she was my guide to self discovery. My husband and I are now communicating better than ever and are taking the next step to couples counseling. Thank you for everything, Wendi!
Wendi is great! Love her engagement during session no matter how late. She listens to me and validates what I’m going through. So far she gives me the impression that she’s very open minded. She then offers ideas to some of the things we identify I need to tackle. Look forward to more sessions with Wendi.
I really enjoy having Wendi as my therapist. She is an excellent listener and very empathic. Wendi is validating, supportive and caring in her therapeutic approach. Talking with Wendi helps me to stay grounded as I strive to define and pursue my second act, nurture my relationships and work through specific issues. I really appreciate Wendi’s expertise and kindness.
I love better help, they matched me with the perfect therapist. I have never done therapy before and this took the anxiety away completely. Wendi is the best!

Wendi has been lovely. She makes the time for me and has been a wonderful resource.
This therapist is very culturally aware which is very important to Native people when they see a non-native therapist. It's rare and hard to find and very appreciated
She is amazing her problem-solving orientations seems to have rewired my brain in the best of ways
Wendi has been great!
Wendi is kind, intuitive, and a wonderful listener. I enjoy our sessions and she is the type of person that you can glow naturally with. She is good and going deeper but also really great at shooting the shit and talking about day/ what we like doing.

Wendi has really helped me feel "seen" and validated during our conversations. I felt that she was able to understand me as a neuro-divergent person, which not all therapists are experienced with. I highly recommend working with her!
